There has been alot of chromed-out cars, there was the SLR McLaren and a C63, but some things could be left alone. If the SLS AMG weren’t enough, we’d have hope at least that the GT3 racing version would be. This Mercedes was rolled out by Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, this foundation supports athletics as a remedy to youth issues is supported by Mercedes-Benz. This car is high-lighted by the red accents, powered by Mercedes engines, though the automaker has switched its racing patroage to its own team this season.
The car was at the German Grand Prix a couple of weeks back at Hockenheim, the only place where it be without standing out. The whole show was for a good cause.
Information about Toyota’s FT-86 car is coming out of the company. The FT-86 is definitely on schedule for November 2011. There were rumors saying that its debut was pushed back to 2013. Toyota confirmed that the FT-86 is nearing 50% complete and will priced about $29,000. Possibilitys include a turbocharged engine, but that decision is still in the air.
The FT-86 will come with two engines options. A hybrid vehicle may also be built, but not as a FT-86. Toyota says they are saving this powerplant for a another sports car.
For the people that are waiting for the release of the FT-86, they will not see many changes to the design. Only minor changes will be made leaving the overall design the same.
The 2011 AC Roadster has been unveiled by Iconic Motors. The car has been designed from the ground up to be a completely world class super car.
Inspired by the Shelby Cobra the 2011 AC Roadster has an aluminum 6.9-liter V8 engine that pushes 800 HP. This car takes it’s place among the world’s most beautifully designed super cars.
The car boosts of being the most light weight, strongest built, highly engineered, fastest roadster in our time.
Made in the USA, customers are already placing orders for the roadster with deliveries in early 2011.
Is it a Italian Lamborghini or perhaps a Ferrari. No this yellow Saleen S5S supercar is American built. Debuting at the New York Auto Show, this car is considerably more restrained than previous the S7.
The Raptor shows off clean lines in lightweight composites. There is a solar tinted glass roof allowing light inside. The mid-engine design leans toward Saleen’s racing heritage, a supercharged 5.0 liter V8 pushes 650hp, this 630 lb-ft torque engine runs on ethanol,
Saleen boosts of 3.2-second 0-60mph time and with a top speed of over 200mph. The ethanol burning supercharged engine is linked to a six speed transmission. An option is the paddle shifted sequential gearbox, if that is desired.
Massive fifteen-inch front brakes and thirteen-inch rears come with traction control. 20-inch aluminum wheels have a carbon-fiber finish. The S5S Raptor maybe in production in two years at an $185,000 price tag.
Since the new release of the RS5, German tuner MTM is the first to come up wth a tuning package for this car. Included are RS rims and wheels, a new exhaust, new F-Cantronic suspension and with a engine that produces a top speed to 303 kmh (188 mph).

Say goodbye to the Ferrari F430 GT, 2010 will be the last year you will see it in action. Replacing it is the 458 Italia GT boosting new body panels, a new stance to the car which is lower ride height and some new racing tires. The 458 GT also gets a cool racing rear wing and racing decals.
The inspired 458 GT came from the current 430 GT and the result is very impressive. Ferrari wanted to focus on improving the 458 Italia’s aerodynamics and lower it’s weight. F1 technology is used so expect the GT to be a lot quicker than its road going version.
Not much is known about the engine specs, but the F430 GT should be getting a 4-litre V8 producing somewhere between 600 and 700bhp with the light weight body panels and zero interior trimmings.
Cars come from all even from what we would think of a non-car place. Denmark is a great place to live with low crime rates but who would have dreamed of the 1104 horespower supercar that it would produce.
The new Zenvo ST1 is put in the same rank as a Bugatti Veyron or the Koenigsegg CCXR. It is amazing many have not heard of this wonderful car. The car has been in production since 2005. Not much news has been published about the Zenvo ST1. Maybe they need to hire a new marketing team.
This car creats a massive amount of power from a 7 liter supercharged V8 that cranks out 100 more horsepower than the Veyron. Top speed is 233 mph and will hit 60mph in just seconds. Only fifteen of these examples will be made for some lucky people that can afford them.
The Dodge Viper was created at a time when Chrysler was pretty much broke. Their cars were not a lot to talk about and spent alot of time broke down. 1989 was not a great year for the automaker.
85 engineers were put to work to design this iconic sports car. It didn’t have the same history as the Corvettes or the Mustangs, but the Viper was built into something completely different.
The Dodge Viper wasn’t a great car but it is still loved. No fancy toys, or even roll up windows in the early days, but it was amazingly fast. A fun car to drive around the track was the Dodge Viper.
All things come to an end. Dodge is still around but the Viper won’t be. This month is the last month of production for the Viper.
